Selfhosted rss w/ push?
  • Here is a use case: multiple device sync. With a server client infrastructure, read status are synced to the server, so if I change device, I can pick it up where I left off. Same thing as using a cloud service, but self hosted.

  • L'Alberta va imposer une taxe sur les véhicules électriques. C'est la nouvelle la plus Albertaine du monde.
  • Que l'Alberta débute avec ça ne me surprend pas. Je m'attend que beaucoup plus de gouvernements en Amérique du Nord fasse ça avec la diminution des revenus dû à la réduction des véhicules à gas. Aucun gouvernement ne va apprécier voir ses revenus diminuer.

    À mon avis, c'est OK de taxer les voitures, mais les voitures à gas devraient être taxés beaucoup plus.

  • Something something Biden bad
  • I agree you have it bad there. Unfortunately in politics we have to vote for the least bad option. On all the issue listed though, a lot is due to congress, mainly because people decided that republicans and their idea of not governing is preferable to democrats. Personally, I know the options are very bad, but I the sliver of democracy is still worth it to try to preserve in order to have the option to influence the next time around.

  • Unraid Moves to Annual Subscription Pricing Model
  • It might. I take the risk. At that point, storage cost will be lower, I'll just buy a bunch of 20TB drives and build a truenas NAS. In the meantime, I'm satisfied with unraid as I don't have to spend 2k+ to get 50TB of usable space.

  • Ukraine says it can't fire more than 2,000 shells a day as Western allies fail to meet pledges: report
  • Why would they need production capacity to produce a product that is useless for the NATO military doctrine? That's just not how NATO countries wage war. Of course they don't have a good production capacity of a tool they are not likely to use. And even if they wanted to start to produce them at the start of the war, it wouldn't be ready today, it takes a lot of time and resources to build production capacity from scratch.

  • Home automation - why?
  • As I said to people I know, fun. I have fun setting this up. Its a hobby. I like to search for bargains and build the automations. If you don't have fun doing it, its usually not really worth it. It gets expensive quick and its kind of a lot of work to research and setup if you want to keep your privacy.

  • Prevent display turning off when playing media
  • I use qtile on X11 and hyprland on Wayland. There is an option on hyprland for exactly that (idleinhibit window rule), but didn't find a good solution on qtile yet. Anyway I have issues with qtile for other things too (because of X11 mainly).

  • L’aide aux usines de batteries coûtera 5,8 G $ de plus que projeté
  • Je sais que tu relates le raisonnement du gouvernement et pas ta position, mais je voulais faire une reponse à ce genre de commentaire.

    Aider les gens à se déplacer rend ta population plus flexible. Les gens peuvent se trouver des emplois a des endroits où ils ne pouvaient pas avant. Ça donne beaucoup plus de pouvoir de négociation aux employés puisque ça leur donne accès à des emplois qui leurs étaient inaccessibles. Pour les employeurs qui recherchent de la main d'oeuvre qualifiée, ça leur donne accès à un plus grand bassin de main d'oeuvre.

    Voici un rapport de l'APTA qui mentionne un ROI de 5 pour 1. C'est excellent pour l'économie d'investir dans ça.

    L'argument de créer des jobs qui paieront des impôts nest pas génial non plus. Si ça valait la peine, aussi bien créer plein de jobs bidon pcq ils vont payer de l'impôt! La réalité c'est que bien souvent le gros de ces subventions vont dans les poches des propriétaires et on ne revoit jamais la couleur de cet argent. En plus, si on investi cet argent là dans le transport en commun, lui aussi va créer des jobs qui vont payer des impôts. La seule variable différente c'est les profits qui disparaissent.

    Là où je suis plus en faveur c'est que c'est OK de financer quelques industries qu'on veut kickstart, ce qui est le cas ici. Tu en fais mention dans ton commentaire, l'effet de spécialisation est important. Par contre, à mon avis, ça devrait se faire en échange de parts dans ces entreprises.

  • How I accidentally wiped my server by having a typo in my Nextcloud docker config
  • The worst I did is wanting to replace the WAN interface on my Opnsense router. I didn't check properly and replaced my LAN interface instead, rendering the router inaccessible and fucking up my network. Luckily, its a VM on proxmox that was still accessible from IP. I just opened a console to the VM and found out that the whole configuration is in a file. Also, a copy is saved with every configuration change. I just found the right one to restore and voilà! My network was back up.

  • Advanced pirates, whats a tip others might not know?
  • Lack of knowledge isn't dumb, it's just lack of knowledge. You can't know everything.

    I run 2 docker containers, named slightly differently (my setup is a bit more complicated within a stack though). Then I map a different port for the FR one so it doesn't conflict. Of course, you need a different config volume. Then once the container is up, you can I link my FR sonarr to my EN one. So when I request something on my EN Sonarr, it also adds it to my FR Sonarr.

    I also do that with movies, but for HD and 4K instead. I manage multi-language differently.

    I'll PM you for my source of French content.

  • What can you do on Linux that you can't do on Windows?
  • I've been an on and off Linux user for a long time, but my main OS used to be Windows. I recently switched to Linux (Arch btw) and I love it.

    For my use cases, here is what I like about windows:

    • Office 365
    • Gaming
    • Onedrive
    • Just works
    • touch screen and touch pad
    • Hardware support
    • Autohotkey (can live without)
    • Software compatibility
    • VR
    • Parsec

    Here is what I like about Linux

    • Dynamic tiling window managers.
    • Customization, I can have my notifications on the top right, the way I like them.
    • Smooth as fuck: very fast!
    • Very clever solutions (looking into NixOS currently for example)
    • Terminal: fun to use and it's fast!
    • Much more control over my system.

    The things I dislike about windows are mainly that it's stupid slow compared to Linux and the growing presence of telemetry and ads (though I wasn't that affected). Also, I can't replace windows default shortcuts or some functionalities.

    What I dislike about Linux is that there is always something that doesn't work properly. I currently have issues with DPMS. My laptop has trouble with the behavior if the touchpad, sometimes the gestures work, sometimes they don't, it depends on its mood I guess. I tried Wayland, but with a nvidia card it has a lot of issues, I had to go back to X which sucks since I really prefer the way wayland works. I'm quite technical, but sometimes the solutions don't really work.

    I read a few things in this thread that I disagree with though, namely:

    • You can launch apps from PowerShell (terminal)
    • You can have package managers, I used scoop, choco and winget. Every app that I use can be installed and updated with those, from PowerShell.
    • Pretty sure you can update your system from PowerShell, then you probably can make a script to update everything.
    • You can disable auto-updates and auto-reboot in Windows. I never had my computer reboot on me and it stays open 24/7. What I liked is auto-update, but no auto-reboot. I chose when to reboot, only had a notification which was disabled when I was playing a game.
    • There are options for launchers, the windows menu or powertoy run.
    • You can create shortcuts (similar to .desktop) and you can also make a bat script instead of a bash script.

    A lot of comments are about a knowledge deficit, not a capability deficit from Windows.

  • Google says it can’t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one | With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.
  • This is TOTP. I use my password manager for that. I used to use Bitwarden, but I recently switched to 1password.

    SSO means single sign on. If I sign on to Google, it automatically sign me on other apps. I use a forward auth on my self hosted services. I used to use authentik but I switched to google since it just works much better. If Google makes a shitty move in that department, I can always fall back to authentik.

    I don't mind using proprietary softwares if they're good, I just prefer to think about an alternative in case I need to switch.

  • Google says it can’t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one | With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.
  • I installed this week, so I'm not a long time user. But it's by far the best self hosted photo app that I've used. Before that I used nextcloud, but the user experience isn't as good Imo.

    The only things that I miss are automatic albums based on face recognition and pet recognition. I still use google photo to share with family though.

  • Google says it can’t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one | With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.
  • For Gmail, I switched to fastmail. For google photos, I switched for immich.

    The services that I still use from them are google maps, YouTube and SSO. They are all services that I wouldn't mind them shutting down. It's just that I find them much better than any alternatives.

  • China's new national map has set off a wave of protests. Why?
  • You present western media as a single monoblock. It isn't. Even a single media is not a single coherent unit. Every journalist has his/her own voice since, contrary to China, we don't lock people up for voicing their opinion. Everyone can do investigative journalism. There are correspondants in most countries, when information comes up, it is verified as much as possible with people living there. When we talk about investigative journalism, the information is verified and usually corroborated by the other independent medias. If a media realize that the government propaganda doesn't match with reality, they can publish the story without retaliation. Not only that, but they would have quite the story and they will be quite happy to publish it.

    You seem unfamiliar with all this, do you have free press where you live?

    Equating Western propaganda (and yes it exists) with Chinese authoritarian state is precisely a China apologist attitude.

    I replied because I wanted to. The fact that I replied doesn't have anything to do with your ability to convince people.
